    I saw that, but I was curious if any thing might have changed in 2 years.

    Yes it can be done and it works perfect. There are many posts on this. I had my unit installed in 20120. Go here.

    To get to that link I posted. I went to the search button at the top of this page and entered Viper Smartstart.

    I had best buy install it, and the remote start works. The only negative is the viper system does not work well with the proximity sensor when unlocking the door. You have to disarm the viper separately when unlocking the door. Defeats the purpose of leaving the keys in the pocket. Also, the car shuts down when entering the car too.
